CAVU Entering Port Everglades Cut

About 1:30 we entered the cut with barges, cruise ships standing by, ocean going tugs, various pleasure craft, with the wind suddenly picking up when we made the turn to 20 knots...wouldn't you know it... The decision had been made and we stuck with it. As soon as we entered this congested harbor we made a starboard turn to go through the 17th Street Bridge Hourly Opening in order to get to the only potential small boat anchorage. Felt like we were in the middle of a beehive!!! Captain Ron loved it!
